May 31st
Saturday Movement and Meditation
With Sam Tullman
Drop in for a short, beginner-oriented Qi Gong session with Sam Tullman, followed by time for silent meditation as a group.
Qi Gong (氣功 — cultivation of Qi, or energy) refers to a family of gentle moving meditation practices from China. You can think of this a bit like a Chinese form of yin yoga, except that rather than holding stretches for a long time, you’re going through different rhythmic, gentle movements to loosen your body and let energy flow more freely.
Special Event: June 24th 7:30-9 pm ET
Workshop with Heather Nielsen
Compassion and Connection with Diabetes
Heather Nielsen, LPC, CHWC
Living with Type 1 diabetes often means facing misunderstandings or a lack of empathy from those around you, which can strain relationships and emotional well-being. This session dives into the power of self-compassion as a tool for navigating these challenges with confidence and grace. Learn effective communication techniques to help educate and connect with others, fostering deeper understanding and stronger relationships.
